Christopher, I did not remember what I've done with 12.04/10 , so I made a kubuntu usb stick with 12.04.5 and run in on the laptop. Problem is the same (3.2.0-7-generic x86, with bcmwl 6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu0.0.2 ), so for sure it happened before precise(12.04) . What is more, looking at the syslog I remind myself what I've done to make my wifi working then - to simplify - installed proper b43 driver.... At that time kde device manager did not pop up with sugestion so I did my driver choise by syslog warning suggestions for b43.
Not only did b43 not conflict with b44( the LAN driver) but it serve me for a long time ;). When it comes to broadcom-sta, good guide for me was https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BroadcomSTA%28Wireless%29 where is said that my card [14e4:4311] works with b43 but not with broadcom-sta, so after installing I do not get an offer for the card to use the driver. Should I report the bug on http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php directly ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1407522 Title: bcmwl package was sugested by KDE driver manager but broke the system To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1407522/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
